Story by: laika6 / laika665

After Sora's disappearance at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3, Kairi (feeling responsible for Sora's fate & driven by her love for him) sets out on a journey to - hopefully - bring him home.
The events of this comic occur between the Ending and Secret Ending of Kingdom Hearts 3.

Points to note (KH - A World Without Sky):
1. As I wrote the story before Re:Mind was announced, the events of the DLC do not take place in this story. This story is simply meant to explain the original secret ending (how & why has only Riku gone to rescue Sora?).
2. The events of this comic take place over several months.
3. Sora saved Kairi in a manner similar to how he saved the others from the Lich during KH3. However, given his power, Exdeath appeared before him to prevent him interfering with the Lich.
4. The battle against the Arch Mage takes place at night. He has cast illusory magic to make it seem like day-time.
5. The events of 4 black & white pages (those featuring Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Namine, Lea, Xion, Roxas, Terra, Aqua & Ven) occur during Kairi's adventure. The page featuring Sora & Kairi occurs before the events of the comic (showing how he rescued Kairi). The page featuring Kairi, Namine, Isa, Lea, Roxas & Xion occurs during the period where Riku goes to rescue Sora.
6. The Cloud of Darkness was referring to several different things: (a) imbalance between light & darkness due to the defeat of the Xehanorts & Organization XIII (b) Kairi being alive when she is supposed to be dead - thanks to Sora (c) The return of the Foretellers - due to Luxu's actions
7. By becoming full-fledged ninja, Kairi, Namine & Isa unlocked the Ninja Class. The Ninja Class functions similarly to Drive Forms/Command Styles. It grants increased speed & the ability to leave behind after-images (similar to Ghost Drive), but decreases defense.

that's all folks!
thanks again
looking forward to the next KH installment

Before anyone asks ... no I am not continuing the story beyond this page.

I heard Melody of Memory's lovely Dearly Beloved remix, and realized that I wanted this story to have a Dearly Beloved remix, so I commissioned one.

However, I thought that that was too little, so I commissioned one last page for the story (there will also be 2 simple sketches - So you could consider this the 'Final Mix')

Apologies for the lack of updates regarding 'Beyond The Horizon'
The artist (wempzical) has had some difficulties due to the lockdowns and I haven't received a response from them in quite some time ...

I am truly grateful for their hard work despite the issues.

In light of this, I've ultimately decided to commission another artist to complete the comic.
It should be finished by early June.

 

I also decided to try getting the 'A World Without Sky' comic dubbed.

You can see part 1 of the dub here:

The previous editor experienced a rather unfortunate incident, so i was forced to commission a different one to finish the dub.

I believe that they've done a great job.

 

Please note that there's an error in the credits of the 'KH Beyond the Horizon' dub.
The comic art was done by kakaart.

This was a fun project, but now it is finally complete.
Thank you for your interest - I hope you enjoyed it.
Take care.
